Wooden structures can look like new for years, as long as we give them the care they deserve. We've prepared a few simple but essential tips to help you protect the wooden elements in your space, whether it’s a kitchen, cabinets, wall paneling, or a custom construction. No matter the season, sun exposure, humidity, and daily use are factors that affect wood. Here's what to keep in mind:
1. Avoid direct exposure to sunlight Whenever possible, protect wooden surfaces with shade or curtains. Sunlight can fade and dry out wood — especially outdoors or near large windows.
2. Clean gently, without overdoing it Use a soft cloth, mild soap, and very little water. Avoid harsh products like bleach or ammonia, as they can damage the finish.
3. Refresh the finish when needed A quality oil or varnish helps protect wood from moisture and wear — especially on frequently touched surfaces or areas exposed to the elements.
4. In the kitchen, protect wood from steam and moisture Steam from pots or heat from ovens can affect wooden cabinets and countertops. Allow cabinets to “breathe,” clean surfaces with a dry cloth, and ensure proper ventilation in the space.
